Too hot, innit! It’s all in the captions but, as a small business (and personally as a human who melts when it goes above 22C), this summer has been trying to say the least, luckily for us it has mainly been filled by you lovely lot coming in, painting and being splendid. There’s still a few weeks of holidays left so do come down and treat yourself to some ceramic painting. You deserve it. And have a strawberry lemonade too!

We will be popping up at Wood Street Bakery in Walthamstow for a special session for parents and babies on Wednesday 5 August 10-12pm. Tickets cost £5, then you pay for the ceramics you choose on the day. Food and drink can be ordered separately in the cafe (and is very highly recommended).

Heatwave number 2 of the summer and I can’t say I’m a big fan! There’s been a nice breeze today, but I just know the temperature is going to ramp up again, so here are some pictures of lovely water themed ceramics painted by customers in the cafe which I have been looking at while dreaming of jumping in a lido. So turn that fan on full blast, layback and imagine you can dip your toes in the clear blue waters depicted here in paint. From pretty water lillies to lake swimmers. Fish pootling around in ponds to ocean going magical whale sharks, and I’ve even got a tiger taking a dip and a duck I am deeply jealous of.
Due to the intense heat we’ve had to fire the kiln a little less often, so we are a tiny bit behind on firing but it should only be 5 days rather than 3 and considering I’ve been concerned that Tim may turn into a literal puddle I don’t think this is too bad.
So come to the cafe and paint a ceramic that reminds you of cool days and bracing swims, or paint something like a jug or a mug you can fill with your favourite beverage to cool yourself down. Now where’s me washing up bowl to dip my toes in?

Free the bees! What do you think of our tiny ceramic bees we have made and added to our decorations cafe this summer? Made by Tim’s fair hands and then hung by him in the cafe too (look, there he is!) they hang around our painted planters in the window and in the middle of the shop too. I think they are super cute and am even thinking of making Tim to make some more so I can turn them into hanging mobiles - or we could run a workshop so you could do that yourselves, what do you think?
I’ve not seen too many bees this summer yet (although to be fair I have mainly spent it inside with a fan on full speed in my face), but can highly recommend painting bee themed ceramics which always look lovely and can be super simple to do. So Bee creative and come in the cafe and get buzzy with some summer painting (sorry, not sorry) and admire the bees while you sip on a milkshake or iced coffee- and a honey flapjack is highly recommended too - or grab a Takeaway Painting Kit and paint in your garden where you can watch the bees lazily buzz around you.

Paint in your garden, in the pub, in the park, at the beach, in your office, or anywhere else you can think of with our Takeaway Painting Kits! Born in lockdown, improved over time and now utterly awesome, our Takeaway Painting Kits mean you can bring pottery painting home with you or even host a gathering for friends.
You can buy ready made kits on our website and pick your paint colours or if you want to host a few people, or even have a party, we can supply our Takeaway Box Kits which have a full set of paints, brushes and pallets, plus instructions and a colour change tile on a weekly hire. Then you can pick your ceramics from our entire stock and get painting. Bring the back to us, we will glaze them and fire them and then you can use them in any way you wish.
Obviously, we love to see you in the cafe, but as it is a portable craft then why not set up a blanket in the shade and get your craft on. It means you can take as much time as you need in a location of your choosing - right now sat in front of a fan with your feet in a paddling pool feels living the dream!

The sun is out again and the flowers are blooming so here is a selection of lovely floral mugs which have been painted in the cafe recently by very clever customers. Flower ceramics always work so well because you get to use all the brightest colours and you can make them as simple or as intricate as you like. Either way they always look fabulous. We’ve also got flower shaped plates and bowls in stock too so you can paint your own petals or just use the shape as inspiration for your own unique design - these do go quickly though so grab them while you can! I’ve never been much of a gardener, but this year I am attempting to grow dahlias this year and, snails aside, they seem to be going well. My peony hasn’t produced a single stem though and the season doesn’t last long, so if anyone wants to buy me a bunch to make up for it please do feel free!

Father’s Day is fast approaching and we are knee deep in baby hand and footprints at the shop and couldn’t be happier. So many cute babies! There is still plenty of time to get your gifts made so you can come to the cafe and we will give you as much or as little help as you would like to get the perfect prints. We can even give a hand with writing - although you are more than welcome to do it yourself too. Our paints are non-toxic so kind on skin and wash out of clothes and even if they shove a paint covered hand in their mouth it will just taste a little chalky. If you are a group and would like to come in just get in touch and you can also get Takeaway Painting Kits if you would prefer to do it at your leisure at home. I also highly recommend doing some prints for yourself too as they grow so fast and their hands and feet are so sweet when they are little (it’s not as cute when they shove their stinking size 8s in your face, let me tell you), then you always have a reminder of how tiny they once were and how far you have all come.

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery and, while I don’t always agree with that, I do when it comes to people recreating their favourite artists on our ceramics. For example take a look at these excellent Jean-Michel Basquiat inspired mugs painted in the cafe. They are so good and I’m sure the artist would approve. We get a lot of Van Gogh in the cafe, the occasional Mondrian and a few Clarice Cliff (for all you true ceramics fans or people who watch Bargain Hunt) and they are all marvellous and deserve their own gallery space.
Don’t forget it doesn’t matter if you don’t feel like you can recreate a masterpiece, there are lots of artists that didn’t go for detail. My personal favourite is making a good old mess like Jackson Po***ck with underglaze and a toothbrush, I’ve seen a few toddlers have a good go at doing a Rothko and I do have a Keith Harring mug on my endless list of ceramics I want to paint. So come to the cafe, unleash the inner artist (no matter how hard they are hiding) and create a ceramic you could hang on your wall (or eat your dinner off!)

Hey there hot stuff! Not sure if that is how I should be greeting you, our lovely followers, but this plate definitely deserves a slightly spicy round of applause. These rectangular plates have proved super popular since they arrived on our shelves and I think they are a great example of how one item can be painted in lots of different ways. We’ve got fancy tomatoes that feel like a plate you could definitely buy from a fancy shop and baby footprints walking up the plates looking super cute. We’ve also got a cheeky little crab and a whole host of other designs that will all look lovely in their new homes. I’ve even gone on Canva to make this post prettier (and also because they may be lovely but rectangular plates and Instagram squares are not friends!) to offer a little inspiration for your next visit to the cafe!
